          Looking forward to finding my way around properly, meeting new people who are long time posters of this forum, and also reconnecting with all the other 'incomers' from the soon to be defunct G's World forum.

              Cheers @Fat Controller . I'm intrigued about your username - I'm assuming you're really a svelte George Clooney lookalike though :biggrin:
              I'm off to see how to add a pic or something to my 'thingy' on the left....
              I might be a while :)

                I've had this username for a lot of years... aye, even before this forum too. I am, unfortunately, no George Clooney... I gave myself the name when I signed up (fairly sure it was Digital Spy forum) as I wasn't exactly the slimmest of people and at the time I was a bus service controller. I am no longer a bus service controller, but I am a bit fatter than I was back then, so part of it remains true.

                  Oops - thought I was just choosing a photo - didn't realise it would add it here!
                  If I can't change my username, maybe I can work out how to take the pic off this bit and add it in the right place!

                  You're a long way from Scotland now @Fat Controller . Which part were you from originally?

                    Wow...sorry we're fast running out of chairs, Hope you find these cushions comfy...Welcome everybody.:sign0016:

                    It reminds me of went I left GW many years back, a group of us all left at the same time and came knocking on GC's door... and we were made to feel right at home.
                    I'm certain you'll all love it here too. Lots and lots of familiar names I'm spotting.....I've completely changed mine.:whistle:

                        You can't change your username yourself, but we can do it for you - just let us know the username you'd like and (assuming it is not taken already) we can change it for you quite easily.

                        Re: your picture - where did you want it? Do you want that as your Avatar?

                        I was born and bred in Dumfries and latterly lived in Musselburgh before coming down here and ending up on Heathrow's back door. Been down here 25 years now.

                                Thanks @Fat Controller . I've managed to fill in the 'info box' below the avatar, and I've added 'fairygirl', which is the name I'd want in place of 'alicia'. I'm guessing it might be ok as it let me do that!

                                I'm a bit further north than you were - to the south of Glasgow, not too far from the big windfarm.
